The entire title is: Democrat Governor Bev Perdue of NC Wasn't Joking: She Wants to Cancel the 2012 Congressional Elections

[cripplecreek]

I suspect she let something slip early but we’ll be hearing more of it from other democrats who hope the message will spread to the streets.

Now the only problem is how to get rid of the GOP majority in the house. (Not to mention big GOP majorities in lots of states)

[chris37]

This country needs to disinfect itself of the democrat party.

[Interesting Times]

Rush did a nice job with this.

[GeronL]

Obama himself has suggested a few times this summer that he would like to govern without Congress.

[WayneS]

It’s just a short hop from: “Let’s suspend elections for congress for a couple of years to let them help this country recover...”

to: “Let’s suspend the presidential election for a term or two to let him help this country recover...”

[Drumbo]

Governor Perdue Ping.

[nascarnation]

It was quite enlightening to listen to the audio of her.

When I heard about this yesterday, I figured she was joking.

After hearing the audio, she was dead serious.

[tcrlaf]

It’s VERY ORWELLIAN watching the Wackos trying to deny that she EVER said this today.

Despite the tape, and all the articles, we conservatives are, of course, just lying about it.

This is exactly what the left does wherever it attains power: it moves step by step toward centralized planning and control by elites. You can call it communism, Marxist, socialism, corporatism, facism, Peronism, oligarchy, or whatever you want to call the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels. The left establishes tyranny in its wake. Gov. Purdue is just stupid enough to say it out loud.

The interesting thing is Rotary is run with members voting for representatives. All but a few Rotarian leaders cannot wait till their term ends because of the responsibility. The last thing the folks she was talking to would be to consider ending elections.

What is more interesting, is that those we send to DC should be as enthusiastic about going as those who get drafted for the war.

[asinclair]

Interesting that Perdue is "thinking outside the box." Part of the problem is that our Congresspeople are not being held responsible for their inability to come up with ways to bolster the economy. It's about money.

So a more Constitutional way to make the critters accountable more quickly is to tie their pay to the performance of the economy. The more the economy tanks, the lower their paycheck becomes. Ditto the White House policy makers.

If they can't fix the problem, they should share the pain. Isn't that what Obama was saying?

[bassmaner]

Interesting ... she wants to cancel the congressional elections but not the presidential ...

On a side note, how far has NC fallen to elect such a leftist hag.

[Boomer One]

Facing further losses in the House and potential loss of the Senate and Presidency, the Democrats have called for a “time out” to allow them time to destroy America while they still maintain the power to pack courts with leftist allies. This is the ultimate goal which, once established, will end what was good about America and brought millions to this country.

[Impy]

This can be a very big deal. Bigger than Bobby Ethridge attacking that guy or Phil Hare trashing the constitution.

[Upstate NY Guy]

Someone needs to stick a fork in this Perdue chick and see if it’s done.

[TigersEye]

She should be removed from office immediately! A statement like that from any public office holder, much less a sitting governor, should be an immediate and irrevocable disqualification from office for life. Nothing about that attitude could be further from the principles of this republic. It is unacceptable, joke or no joke, coming from a public official.

I am as serious as can be. Unless the people of NC just like being clowns and sheep who exist for the abusive amusement of jackasses like Perdue then they should be at the capital tomorrow morning helping her clean her office OUT!

[SMGFan]

she was suggesting tossing reapportionment as well. Call it a joke to cover a moron.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

PERDUE: I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won’t hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that.

This should win an award as a CER (Career Ending Remark). I think she is going to lose the next election.

[Captain Peter Blood]

We are already moving toward a police state and have been since the passage of the National Security Act of 1947.
Since 9-11 we have moved even faster toward a Neo Fascist State with a loss of more freedoms all predicated on the insane War on Terror.
Now we know exactly where Obama and the Democrats, and probably a number of Republicans, want to go. In effect to try and use not only the possibility of another terrorist attack for the 2012 elections but more importantly laying the groundwork in the event of a economic collapse of some kind.
Take Perdue’s words for what she said and as a prelude to a warning, these Leftists would like nothing better than to be able to suspend elections at some point. Obama certainly would like the opportunity to be like his hero Lincoln and suspend as many parts of the Constitution as possible all in the name of preserving the country in the event of an economic collapse.

[screaming eagle2]

Is she up for re-election?
